A Tale of Irish EyictiOnS.


In a reference to evictions in Ireland
the London correspondent of the New
York Sun says: No blood and thun-
der writer chronicling acts of savage
atrocity originating in his own brain
ever invented scenes of much greater
horror than those which have accom-
panied the evictions at Glenbeigh. The
burning OF cottages over the heads OF
women and children; q farmers wife,
soon to become a mother, dragged
from her bed and laid fainting upon
the ground, while policemen load their
rifles around her; a mother vainly
begging shelter for dying infant in a
hut from which she had been torn,
and then seeking to protect her babe
from the cold by covering it with
straw in pig.sty-such are the scenes
" aich accompanied one landlords e.
forts to extort his impossible rents,
and such are the items daily added
to the score which 1rishmen have to
wipe out. 1t is for his desire to free
great empire from scenes like these
that Gladstone is assailed as the
enemy of his country's greatness and
unity. In the case Of the woman to
whom shelter was refused for her
child, it is positively exhi!arating to
hear OF buxom young Irish woman
who used her muscle and a shovel and
knocked down bailiff who was nail.
ing up door. She was arrested, of
course, but as she was being escorted
of by the policemen with rifles there
was rush from her friends and she
was rescued. Columns could be filled
with details of absolutely incompre-
hensible brutality on the part Of
landlords agents, and each would add
to the satisfaction felt by every man
in America whose money is backing
this anti-landlord fight,

NO REVENUE LEGISLATION.

WASHINGTON, Special Telegram, Feb 7.--Therc
will be no revenue legislation in the forty ninth
congress. This has been practically settled by
the refusal OF the speaker to recognize either
Randall Democrat OF a Republican for motion to
pass bill either to wholly repeal taxes on tobacco
or to pass the Randall mixed compromise tax
and tarih bill. There will not be another NJ n
day in this congress when individual members
can be recognized for suspension of the rules.
The ways and means committee definitely
abandoned Its efforts to effect any tax
reduction ct this session when the Nor
risCn motion to consider revenue bills was
defeated. And now, after the eharp contro-
versies of the last two weeks terminated by the
letter Of Nj: Randall to Mr. Carlisle the speaker
has chosen not to recognize either Mr.. Randall or
Kelley at the only time when recognition could
have the effect to secure any legislation In this
congress-. The only other period In the remain:
ing three weeks of tho session when individual
members can be recoRnized under the rules to
move to suspend the rules for any purpose will he
during any one Of the last six days OF the
session. The speakers eye can only be got In
accordance with the speakers will and the
speaker In those six days never wills recognize
any person who does not in good faith inform
him as to tho object for which recognition is de.
sired.

the part OF the Premier Goblet to do moth
ing that would precipitate in an open quar-

position he is supported by the bulk OF the
sensible opinion OF the country. The calm

repugnance to another war with Prussia
II the nation should go to war, it is not
